Chapter 508: Real knowledge comes from practice

Barcelona 3:2 Real Madrid, Locking in the League Championship Ahead of Time?

After the match, Wang Feng was rarely seen in a state of impatience and anger, smashing mineral water bottles!

A quarrel erupted in the Real Madrid locker room, with the generals' discord likely becoming a settled matter, and the four-time champions' dynasty collapsing with a bang!

Immediately after the end of the derby of the century, the overwhelming news swept across Europe. This is the first time since Wang Feng joined that Real Madrid has lost to Barcelona in the league, and the result holds significant meaning.

The most obvious outcome is the further widening of the gap on the points table between the two sides. In the past, the Galacticos relied on the century derby to close the gap or even overtake, ultimately winning the league championship.

After 13 rounds this year, Real Madrid has 9 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, accumulating 29 points, while Barcelona has 11 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, accumulating 34 points. Although the league still has a long way to go, a 5-point difference may seem small, but it's extremely difficult for the opponent to make consecutive mistakes. It's very likely that even until the end of the league, there may be no way to narrow the gap between the two sides.

No wonder some media outlets are calling for Barcelona to clinch the title early. The "Abesai Report" commented that it's still too early to lock in the league championship, but the Catalonia team indeed has taken the initiative.

"The entire game saw Barcelona's comprehensive suppression of Real Madrid's performance, with a front line led by Messi and Villa, a midfield led by Iniesta and Xavi, and a defense led by Puyol and Piqué, all of world-class caliber."

"With European Cup champions and World Cup third-place finishers as the backbone, plus the blessing of Argentine superstar, this Barcelona team should have the strength to compete for the league championship."

However, the "Abesai Report" also admitted that Real Madrid has not completely lost the chance to defend their title. In fact, Wang Feng's performance in the last 20 minutes of the game made all Catalan fans sweat, and if he had erupted earlier, the result might still be uncertain.

The Chinese superstar has repeatedly targeted Barcelona, making all Catalan fans tremble with fear, and his performance next will also be a crucial factor in determining the championship.

The "World Sports News" focuses on describing the disputes within the Real Madrid team, even escalating into a locker room brawl. Led by Wang Feng, the high-profile team clashed with the Benitez coaching staff, using exaggerated words to further incite emotions and disrupt harmony within Real Madrid, thus reducing the pressure on Barcelona's title contention.

Valencia was not without the ability to fight back. In the 31st minute, they pulled one back through striker Aduriz.

After the break, in the 56th minute, Diarra dribbled into the frontcourt and lofted a pass to the edge of the penalty area. The Chinese superstar deftly controlled the ball with his chest and lifted it over the defense behind him.

Immediately, he accelerated to catch up and volleyed with his left foot, once again piercing Valencia's goal, 3-1!

In the 78th minute, Wang Feng again assisted from the flank, turned and accelerated to the bottom line, and Ramos, who had joined the backline, easily extended the Galacticos' lead.

In the final moments of the game, Valencia scored a goal through Fernandes assisting Soldado, with the final score locked at 4-2.

Real Madrid proved to the outside world with a big victory that there were no problems with the team, and Wang Feng contributed two goals and one assist, showing exceptional activity throughout the game.

A week later, in the 15th round of La Liga, Real Madrid played away against Zaragoza. The Chinese superstar continued his agile performance, scoring two goals again to help the team win 3-0.

Even Benitez had to admit that with Wang Feng's running and connection in the frontcourt, Real Madrid's attacking ability was smoother than before and not easily thwarted by opponents. This should also be why for so many years, no opponent has found a way to restrict him.

He had fallen into a vicious circle himself, thinking that the head coach must play a role, and couldn't win games like before when outsiders said he could even win with a tied dog on the coach's bench, only to end up dragging the team down.

"You're right to support Wang Feng, Mr. Florentino. All the rumors about you not understanding football are just hearsay." Benitez said to the Real Madrid president in private conversation, "I even think you could coach a team."

"Haha, of course not, but I understand one thing. When our paper strength is far inferior to Barcelona's, we have repeatedly defeated them. There must be a key secret among them—Wang Feng's performance on the field."

"So the club adjusted its transfer strategy very early on. We have the absolute strength to build a stronger lineup than ever before, but that's unnecessary."

"What suits us is the most important thing. As long as we maximize and utilize Wang Feng's abilities and keep other players firmly united around him, we can achieve results."

"Have you ever thought that once Wang Feng leaves or his strength declines with age, Real Madrid will immediately lose competitiveness?"

Florentino smiled and said, "Of course, that's inevitable. At that time, the club will immediately enter a rebuilding phase, and we are prepared for that."
